Indigenous Education Activities for Vanier Employees We warmly invite Vanier employees in all areas (faculty, staff, non-teaching professionals, management, administration) to participate in the
following learning activities in Indigenous education. The goal of these activities is to empower us with knowledge about the realities of
Indigenous students and their communities. This knowledge allows us to better support this population of students, and by extension, their
families and communities, and to better educate our non-Indigenous students about crucial aspects of contemporary Canadian society of
which they are largely unaware. These actions are a direct response to the CICan Indigenous Education Protocol, to which Vanier became a
signatory in the fall of 2017, the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions’s Calls to Action, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples. If you would like to be on the Indigenous Studies/Indigenous Education mailing list to be among the first to hear of these
and other opportunities, please email [email protected].
Day of Learning in Indigenous Education, Friday, May 17th, 9:00AM – 4:00PM
This day of learning is aimed at employees but is open to interested students. In the morning, Diane Labelle, from the First Nations Regional
Adult Education Council, will lead us through an interactive activity called: “From Circles to Squares”. This activity aims to demonstrate the
ways in which colonialism has disempowered Indigenous peoples. We will discuss how this impacts our Indigenous students and how it has
led to non-Indigenous people being unaware of their power over Indigenous peoples. After lunch, provided by a local Indigenous caterer, we
will offer a selection of workshops on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Participants will discuss how they can respond
to these calls to action in their own areas of work at the college and elsewhere. For any questions, please write to:
[email protected]. Please register by filling out this form.
Intercollegiate Conference - Truth and ReconciliAction: Reimaginine Cegeps for Indigenous Futures, May 22, 9:00AM
– 4:00PM (Vanier College, various locations)
This is an inter-collegiate conference open to all employees, organized with the support of an ECQ grant obtained by an inter-collegiate
network of employees working on Indigenizing the Cégep system. In addition to the usual attendees to Indigenous Education workshops
(teachers, lab technicians, and a few front-line workers), we are sending a special call out to all front-line workers (admissions, advising,
student services, registrars) and decision-making employees in management and administration. Indigenous students are warmly invited to
participate in any capacity. We will start with a keynote by Indigenous scholar, Dr. Marie Battiste, and an Indigenous student panel. In the
afternoon, we will offer a variety of workshops aimed at different areas of work in Cégeps (administration, student support, academic, etc.).
For more information, please write to [email protected]. Please register here.

Montreal Pow Wow 2019 at Vanier College and Associated Learning Activities Once again, Vanier College, in collaboration with the Red Urban Project and the Vanier Indigenous Circle, will be hosting the annual Montreal
Pow Wow on May 4th and 5th, from 10AM to 6PM. The Grand Entry (when the drumming and dancing starts) is at noon on each day. All are
welcome to attend as the Pow Wow is open to people of all nations! Pow Wows are important celebrations that help bring together Indigenous
peoples from all directions, as well as friends of all nations. At one time banned by the Canadian government through the Indian Act, the Pow
Wow has re-emerged as a symbol of resistance and resilience, and serves as healing for many First Peoples individuals, families and
communities. To learn more, please see the Montreal Pow Wow’s website.
The Pow Wow is looking for volunteers to help out before and during the event. Any interested employees or students should MIO Jacky
Vallée to sign up!
In addition to the Pow Wow itself, we invite you to two learning activities in the weeks preceding the Pow Wow.
Wednesday, April 24, UB, in D542, Elder Don Barnaby, First Nation Mi’gmaq from Listuguj Quebec, will share teachings about the history of
the Pow Wow celebration among First Nations peoples, as well as his own relationship to Pow Wow dances. All are welcome! No reservation
required. Teachers wishing to send students are asked to abstain from bringing an entire class, but you are encouraged to let students know
about the event and even give bonus assignments.
Thursday, May 2, from 11:30 to 2:30, several Pow Wow dancers from the local area will demonstrate some Pow Wow dance styles and
explain the meanings of these dances and their own relationships to their chosen style. The event will be held between the D and N buildings,
near the Vanier Gardens. In case of rain, we will be in Jake’s Mall. All are welcome to attend all or part of the event!

Upcoming Workshop: Breaking the Rules Around Food Presented by the Vanier Collective Gardens Community Project and A Place at the Table
Open to all students, faculty, staff and administration
Breaking the Rules around Food with Lisa Rutledge, RD
Thursday, Apr. 25, 12-1:30, in the Amphitheatre (B-223) Soup and coffee will be served Do you think a lot about the relationship between food and your health? Does your desire to eat the "right" foods, to be thin, or to be "healthy" take up a lot of your time and energy? Do you sometimes wish you could just be relaxed and happy in your body? Our culture exposes us to many messages about eating less, cutting out foods, and exercising to solve all our health problems. However, health and wellness are not that simple (thank goodness!) There is hope: we CAN feel happier and be healthier, and it has nothing to do with the traditional messages of “eat this, not that” or “calories in/calories out.” Join us for a refreshing conversation about diet culture, and how body acceptance and intuitive eating can play a role in your health and happiness. For more info, or if you would like to bring a class, please contact Dana Bath

Accessibility Task Force Subgroup Introduction: Motivation, Cognition, Literacy, and Student Stress Marlene Eberhart (Music), Stefan Bracher (Physics), Sanaa Rizk (French), David Koloszyc (Humanities/A18), and Lissiene Neiva (Biology/H19)
Our subgroup members found common interest in understanding the links between motivation and the cognitive load or stresses involved in
attaining disciplinary literacies—reading and writing, but also numerical, digital, notational, and spatial literacies. We then worked on
developing strategies to address some of them in our classes that could also be of interest to other teachers and disciplines in the college.
In the fall, we described the literacy related challenges in our different disciplines and engaged in literature research to find out what were
considered ‘best practices’ in higher education contexts. As a result, we experimented with new assignments in our classes. During the winter
term, we have moved on to a greater variety of strategies, including some “cross training” activities between Science, French, and Music
learning.
As we continue to investigate our umbrella topics, our collective goal is make our classrooms more accessible for a variety of learning styles,
as well as to identify ‘accessibility gaps’.
Stefan has been using videos to complement the textbook as an alterative source of information for his Secondary 5 Physics class.
Lissiene has been experimenting with Perusall to encourage textbook reading, social annotation, and discussion among students. In
the same class, a creative assessment was proposed in which students brought home a portable microscope (Foldscope) to observe
cells of their house plants or of the vegetables they had in their fridge. In parallel, she continued to work on the different sections of
a handbook for the Science Program, to support students in the acquisition of skills that can be applied across the science disciplines.
This includes, for example, strategies to help students navigate digital information, to help them find good references for academic
work, and resources to foster their interaction with the scientific knowledge outside of classroom.
Sanaa has incorporated a variety of online learning platforms to enhance motivation in French language classes. Her particular
expertise is the link between motivation and cognitive load.
Marlene has experimented on several fronts in her music ear training and history classes: in-class reading/writing and listening
assignments that include identification, summary and synthesis of key elements; flipped classroom segments; breathing and body
movement exercises to reduce anxiety, increase focus for learning, and enhance rhythmic understanding; and introducing online
content curation for research assignments.
If you’d like to discuss your experiences and ideas with us, and open more dialogue across disciplines around these practices, p lease get in
touch with us.

MASTER TEACHER PROGRAM (MTP) Fall 2019 Course schedule
BRIEF COURSE DESCRIPTIONS PED-601 – College Teaching and Course Design, 2 credits (Core course in GCCT) Educational concepts, beliefs, values, practices, issues, philosophies and outcomes associated with learner-centered teaching are examined while designing, developing and evaluating a college level course.
PED-602 – Assessment as Learning, 3 credits (Core course in GCCT) Participants apply the concept of curriculum alignment and performance based assessments while focusing on improving student learning.
